Matt builds awesome products

Product Lead and Partner Matt was originally drawn to ZURB because he wanted to ease his work commute. Our office was perfectly located … a mile away from his house. Well, that and he’s always wanted to work with some hip interaction designers.

Don’t mind the rumors that we hired Matt because he had a dog and we were looking for an “office dog.” ZURB maintains that Matt was brought on board for his superior code-wrangling skills. He’s been working with our chosen platform, Ruby on Rails, ever since he got sick and tired of PHP. When it comes to his job, Matt wields his full range of skills, especially his samurai SQL skills, web application performance maximization, and ability to deflect small yellow NERF projectiles.

The best part of the job for Matt: working on really challenging problems with very smart (and silly) people.

With his software ninja know-how, Matt keeps our products moving forward by solving both engineering and design problems. Most of his days are spent working on Notable, Verify, Influence, and Solidify. He’d love to tell you what he does in his spare time, but insists that since he started working at ZURB, he has no more free time.
